This sandwich is an East meets West spin on a Reuben, a delicatessen classic. The cabbage is sautéed with tempered seasonings, a common style of cooking vegetables in India. Go easy on the salt as the veggie strips come seasoned with salt. If you want some heat, add some green chili or cayenne to the mix. I chose Benevolent Bacon from Sweet Earth Foodsfor this sandwich. The flavor of these strips is very strong and intense on its own, but nestled in the sandwich there is nice balance. Tempeh `bacon' strips are great too, especially if you are gluten-free. The 'Russian' dressing comes out beautifully with cashews. Any leftover makes a great salad dressing (add some water to thin it out), or a perfect sauce over steamed or roasted veggies or add to any sandwich.
